"And you will back me up, and as-

"Of course I will. But you need nob

ideas about me, his wife, you know—in

easy-going in his ideas about everybody
else." •
"I'm glad to hear that—the last part
of It, I mean. Very vvetl, then,dear, I'll
oome hoine vvith you to tea."
So shortly after 4 o'clock the t/vo
ladies quitted the Aspasla Club and ad-
journea to Amy's home --a flat in the
•Croinwell road. They had just settled
themselves comfortably to the afternoon
tea table,when the sound of men's voices
laughing and. talking, was heard in the
passage outside, and just afterward the
master of the flat, accompanied by a
friend, entered the drawing -room where
the two ladies were seared,
Robere the barrister, was a tall, bend-
some num, of imposing aspect, with dark
hair and a clean-shaven face.
"I've brought in a friend," he said,
"who is thirsting for a oup of your excel-
lent tea. Allow me to introduce—why.—
Hilloa! Why—Gacel Lord i--iny dear,

Robert, the barrister, bad suddenly
turned very; pale indeed; his face be-
tekened extreme confusion and diemay,
He stared angrily, yet shamefacedly, at
Gladys, and then turned,deprecatingly,to
his wife.
"MY dear," be went on, "my dear—I

But his wife was notlistening to him.
Her eyes were fixed, in horror-struck dis-
may, upon Robert's friend, who himself
seemed by no means at bis ease. Ile was
a fele man, with blue eyes and a fiaxeo
moustache—a very prepossessing type of
the Anglo-Saxon.
"How Clare you, sirt" oried Amy, cov-
ering ber face with her hands. "'this is
—too—too—mean and—and—horrid of
you, when it was all your fault, to come
and—and-oexpose me laike this." '

barrister. "It's too bad of you to filly

'eleted at all, and you—you actually

At this point Amy, suddenly //tarter"

master of otter hounds, used to watching
the stealthy manenvers of the enemy.
He had with him a sharp fox terrier,
and, though on the opposite side of the
stream to that on which the otter was
dining, rather expected the latter to
make himself scarce when the dog CP-

Effect of Debora I un-.
An experiment station reports tbe fol-
lowing on deborning:—
"During the year 1895 sixteen steers
wore dehorned. In this work four seta
tvere taken off with the saw, the other
twelve with clippers. With six of the
steers extra care was taken to fill the
cavity of the stub horn wlth oakum,
saturated with a weak solution of carbolic
acid, anti over this a bandage of muslin
was secured by fastening under the
throat Six others were treated Nvith the
oakum and noel bub lel% without the
bandage. The other four were given no
attention after the horns were clipped.
off. The herd after dehorning was trirned
out together and all treated alike for
the five weeks following, with results
which seemed to justify the following
opinions: The cattle dehorned with the
saw suffered more than those dehorned
with the clippers; possibly not more in
the same length of time, bob certainly
AR much for a period of time almost
twice as long. The saw did a little
smoother job than the clippers, bed
there was so little difference in the ap-
pearance of the stubs that only an ex -
pert would be able to tell by which im-
element the dehorning had been done.
The animals not treated after clehoriu
ing_ apparently did as well as those that
were given all possible protection, but
the sores did not heel quite so rapidly.
The extra care of bandaging the stubs
did not seem to be 'of tiny marked ad -
vantage, but tho applicatinn of oakum
and the snlution of carbolic acid was, I
believe, well wurth tbe trouble a
applying."

SCIENTIFIC BURGLARY.
A Gas .Erigine Used to Operate a Steel Saw.
The modero burglar is a scientist and
inventor in his way. Recently a new era
in safe -breaking and ether branches of
the cracksmau's art has opened, and the
famous jimmy, so long rampant on the
successful burglar's coat of arms,is to be
superseded by more convenient labar-sav-
ing tools,
In Marseilles a gang 01 ingenious
cracksmen entered a banker's office
armed with a steel saw of the newest
construction ana a handy litele gas en-
gine. There was no need for the exercise
of muscle, nor was there any necessity
for a gnod strong wrist at the saw, aS

famous rohberiee.

these modern buglers watched the true

The big safe might have resisted for

promptly yielded up its contents of over
$40,0110 worth of gold and bonds, and in
a quarter of the time it would have

were well out of the building with their
bouty.

N. Y. Produce Review.
. Christmas ir, Surnnier.
The solar tropical year contains 865.-
2422419 days, so that a cycle of four,
hundred years should strictly be made
up of 146096.89676days. According to the
actual arrangement each four hundred
years does in fact contain 146,097 days;
three out of the four lee') years being
omitted which form multiples of 100.
Thus the exact error occurring in each
400 years is .10324 of a day, the - year be-
ing so much in arrear. To find the time
required before Christmas will occupy
the opposite side of the yearly journey
round the sun, we have merely to divide
182.5 days by .10324, • a,nd multiply the
quetient by 400, which gives a result of
707/090 Yeare odd. If then the Present
arrangement is unaltered, and the obser-
enlace of Christmas lasts so long, we
shall, in about seven hundred thousand
years, be keeping it in sunatner.
